All is well here in the south hills of the 'Burgh. I hope everyone has made progress in preparing for any catastrophe we may face in the near future.
I have been spending a lot of time getting our site "B" ready for us and extended family who will probably show up with almost nothing to contribute. I could rant all night about that, but let's just move on to something more positive.
The only area that I seem to be deficient in is our medical supplies and that should be fixed within the first few weeks on the new year.

Amerisafe is awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When it comes to computers, I'm pretty much lost. If it wasn't for the template for this website, I wouldn't of ever been able to have this forum.
If I did know what I was doing, I would have designed a site exactly like amerisafe.org.
Making contacts without all of the B.S. on alot of other sites. I definitely recomend joining up.

Our new bug out retreat
We have been talking about getting a place in the mountains for quite sometime, and it now appears to happening in the very near future. It's located about 90 miles from our home so it should be reachable under most circumstances.
This goes against what I've been saying for awhile, I have been very adamant about staying at home, and using my in laws home as a secondary site because of the short distance to our home, they have a well, and for being pretty close to us they would be difficult to find by by anyone not familiar to the area.
It's going to be just like starting over again because I don't want to reduce supplies here at the house, but some stuff will have to be relocated. Weapons and fuel will be the first purchases. I keep 30 gallons of gas here at the house and will probably do the same at the new site. In a perfect world I would have another AR-15 stashed with 4000 rounds, but I think we may have look at less expensive choices.
Food and medical supplies will be the third and fourth priorities and they shouldn't be too hard. I'm always adding to the stockpile, so a few more things here and there will add up in no time.I like where I'm at with the meds so it's just going to be a matter of shuffling things around a bit.

Molle or Lbe
Everyone seems to lean one way or the other when it comes to tactical gear, and I'm finding myself unsure of what would work best.
I have used a molle chest rig and it wasn't too bad.The vest was comfortable to wear and it was easy getting in and out of vehicles.It held 8 mags for the bushmaster, but besides the armor plate, adding anything else would've made me feel a little top heavy.I tried to add a pistol mag pouch to the front, but I think that I'll keep them on my belt.
My govt. issue lbe has been a proven friend, but it also has drawbacks to it. The side mounted pouches tend to catch when getting out of a vehicle and even getting to something on your belt can be troubling when riding in a vehicle.
Sooner or later I guess I'll have to make a decision, but until then I'm going to keep both close by.

I found this kind of interesting, maybe it's the next step in border security.

Could this be it?
I try not to take alot of what is posted online too seriously, but I feel that if something was to happen, this healthcare vote could be it. i think it's safe to say that we have seen enough from our so-called representatives in D.C. and what they intend to do, no matter what we the people say to them.
My family and I will be watching closely to see what may or may not unfold in the next few days. I hope you all are a the point where you will be able to provide for yourselves and your families in the very near future.

SNOW-MAGEDDON 2010 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope everyone is nice and warm inside there home by now, or in one of the warming centers set up around the county for those without heat. Its been a hell of a day here trying to dig ourselves out from under all of this stuff, and not having any power would not make this situation any better.
It was nice to see the neighborhood pull together today, and work as a team to dig everybody out, and to check on the few elderly neighbors that we do have. Hopefully it anything worse would ever happen, we can come together again and help one another.

Shopping with sheeple
We went to our local grocery store this evening for our monthly big shopping trip. There is a big storm forecasted for tomorrow, so we had a lot of company in the aisles.
Most people around here that "panic" shop, seem to stick to cleaning out the milk, eggs, bread, and of course the jumbo packs of Charmin extra soft, so we stayed away from those aisles to avoid any conflicts over the last gallon of 2%.
The thing that I was surprised at, was the shortage of pizza rolls, and frozen waffles. Of all the things that could be wiped out, pizza rolls and waffles would not rank too high on the list on must haves.
But what if it was switched? Plenty of pizza rolls and waffles, but milk, eggs, bread, and TP were wiped out. It would have been pandemonium at Giant Eagle.
